2011 marks the 30th anniversary of the birth of the modern frequent flyer program, American AAdvantage launched May 1, 1981. United’s program was launched a matter of days later. (David Rowell claims that Texas Air’s program launched in 1979 counts, but American’s is generally regarded as the starting point.)

To celebrate 30 years of frequent flyer miles and as the first and certainly first surviving program, American is launching 30 deals in 30 days.

And you’ll want to check it each and every day. Today’s deal is that you can register for up to 30,000 bonus miles flying American. Book on AA.com by April 30, 2011 for travel between May 15, 2011 and November 15, 2011 for the following bonuses:
